England boss Thomas Tuchel has a clear objective: and that’s to win the 2026 World Cup, which is being held in north America – and in the German tactician’s inaugural squad, he’s picked the best of the best, though Jordan Henderson’s shock inclusion caused plenty of dismay among the England faithful.
All Englishmen have been busting a gut for their respective clubs since the 2024/25 campaign got underway – and in football, money simply makes the world go round. The landscape of the beautiful game is only becoming more finance-driven, what with the introduction of businessmen and oil states.

What the England Squad Think of Thomas Tuchel's Appointment
Thomas Tuchel has named his inaugural England squad - here's how they feel about the 51-year-old German tactician.
But how well-paid are Tuchel’s maiden England squad? From the young and inexperienced likes of Tino Livramento and Myles Lewis-Skelly to the more seasoned picks in Kyle Walker and Declan Rice, we’ve taken a look at their wage figures from Capology. Here is every current England players’ weekly take home.
Goalkeepers
Three of the four goalkeepers on £100,000-per-week or more
England’s quartet of goalkeepers – or, at least, 75 percent of the German's four-man roster – are earning a pretty penny at club level, as suggested by Capology. The biggest earner, Jordan Pickford, pockets a handsome £125,000 on a week-by-week basis.
Pickford is likely to be Tuchel’s primary choice in the near future, but he’ll receive fierce competition from Southampton’s Aaron Ramsdale, whose form has piqued the interest of West Ham United. He earns £120,000-per-week on the south coast.
Elsewhere, Dean Henderson – regarded as one of the best English goalkeepers in world football – has established himself as Crystal Palace’s No.1 and in doing so, the former Manchester United glove bearer takes home a weekly £100,000 in south London.
James Trafford of Burnley, who has been in red-hot form of late, is the only shot-stopper who earns lower than £100,000-per-week. Despite keeping a handful of clean sheets for the second tier outfit this term, he earns a mere, in comparison, £25,000 every week.

Defenders
Youngster Lewis-Skelly is the Three Lions' lowest earner
Both Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly and Dan Burn of Newcastle United have received their maiden call-ups to senior international proceedings. The former earns just £4,000-per-week, while the latter takes home a hefty £55,000 every week.
The aforementioned Walker’s England future was previously in doubt. His experience and international know-how saw him included by Tuchel – and he earns a weekly £75,086 on loan at AC Milan. Elsewhere, Liverpool’s Jarell Quansah earns £30,000-per-week.

15 Greatest Right-Backs in Football History [Ranked]
Some of the most iconic players to ever play the game have been right-backs.
With John Stones and Harry Maguire injured, Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi – admired as one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League right now – is England’s most experienced option at the heart of defence. The Euro 2024 star earns £50,000-per-week.
Chelsea duo Reece James and Levi Colwill are England’s highest-earners from a defensive standpoint. His injuries aside, the former pockets a lofty £250,000 every week and the latter, 22, earns £100,000 on a week-by-week basis.

Midfielders
Bellingham and Rice are both paid very handsomely
Going forward, Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham and Arsenal lynchpin Declan Rice are non-negotiable picks for former Chelsea and Bayern Munich chief Tuchel. The well-drilled pair have formed a formidable partnership in the England engine room – and they earn a respective weekly wage of £337,808 and £240,000.
Los Blancos poster boy Bellingham is the highest earner from England’s midfielders – and has proved his inevitably for the Three Lions over the years. Cole Palmer, who is widely recognised as one of the best penalty takers in world football, is not too far behind the aforementioned duo.
The Manchester-born playmaker, 22, earns £130,000 on the Stamford Bridge books, while Crystal Palace ace Eberechi Eze – who will be eagerly keen to earn himself a regular spot under Tuchel's tenure – earns a total of £100,000 on a week-by-week basis in south London.

Every Premier League Club's Most Likeable Player Right Now
GIVEMESPORT has named each and every Premier League club's most likeable player right now.
Nottingham Forest talisman Morgan Gibbs-White was a late call-up – but that’s not to say that he’s any less worthy as he’s spearheaded the Garibaldi’s pursuit of Champions League football. He earns £80,000 a week, which is just under £5,000 more than Ajax's out-of-sorts midfielder Henderson.
Curtis Jones, who is somewhat on the periphery of Arne Slot’s plans at Liverpool, earns a measly £15,000-per-week. The Scouser, however, is keen to be a starter on the international stage. As is the stocky, yet elegant, Morgan Rogers, who's weekly take-home stands at £75,000.

Attackers
Kane and Rashford among England's highest-earning assets
There is no argument over Harry Kane’s position under Tuchel’s tutelage – he’s going to be a) his skipper and b) his goalscorer-in-chief. In devastating form for Bayern Munich, the record-setting talisman – one of the best England strikers in history – takes home just north of £400,000-per-week.
Marcus Rashford’s renaissance at Aston Villa has convinced Krumbach-born Tuchel to re-call him and, on loan from Manchester United, the versatile forward lines his pockets with £300,000 on a weekly basis. Elsewhere, Phil Foden earns £75,000 less than his compatriot.
Foden, a six-time Premier League winner, may have experienced a dip in performances this season but what cannot be challenged is his talent. Commonly regarded as one of the best wingers in world football, whether the wide man plays out wide or from a central hub, however, remains to be seen.

10 Best Free-Kick Takers in the Premier League Right Now [Ranked]
From Trent Alexander-Arnold to Cole Palmer, the 10 best current Premier League free-kick takers have been listed.
On a weekly take-home of £150,000, both Jarrod Bowen and Anthony Gordon are pulling up trees for West Ham United and Newcastle United, respectively, while they – in their own right – have put together compelling cases to be considered by Tuchel, who is one of the best managers in world football.
From Tuchel’s six-man attack shortlist, Dominic Solanke is his back-up choice in the centre-forward berth. The Tottenham Hotspur marksman, 27, has accrued 11 goals and eight assists in all competitions for the north London-based outfit – and, as a result, he earns £90,000 on a weekly basis.
